I'm contemplating getting a Street Glide Special. I do love my Sport Glide currently but really unsure how it will do on long road trips (have not done one yet). But commuting at 60-70 mph, I get A LOT of wind and buffeting. I have put on taller screen and got lowers for the engine guard so maybe it'll help?

Does your RGS have stock fairing and windshield? If so would love to hear how it does on blocking the wind at highway speeds! I've seen folks on here still upgrade their screens on SGS or RGS..

I loved the Road Glide when I had it. I had an Ultra first bat wing fairing and plenty of buffeting, Road Glide, almost none.
